This is my time spent in England, growing in my faith and my experiences...with not a clue to the out come but with an open mind..I am starting a new chapter in my life and filling it with life changing things!

Accepting is different then approving

The winds are blowing and the skys have gone over cast, but no matter how cloudy or grey or cold it gets this place is still gorgeous. We made our way into town to pick up a few things and it the wind was blowing everything every where. The girls managed to have potted plants blown their way and have dirt end up every where. We got balloons and banners and birthday stuff to decorate our room for my roommates birthday tomorrow and picked up more healthy options because we don't get enough fruits and vege.
Our guest lecturer finished up yesterday evening and so we now have 77ish hand signs and words to memorize in order to try and have a clue of all the events in the old testament. Today we had our family groups where we get together with a group of people and talk and play games and get to know each other on a little bit deeper level. We also had Rob our principle speak and he is speaking on transforming friendships. The part that I think a lot of people don't know but should or if you do know it you should put into practice is the fact that it is okay to accept a person no matter where they come from but that doesn't mean you have to approve of what they do. Meaning you can be friends with some one who you don't necessary approve of their decisions or life choices but you can still love and accept them as a person. We have two more lectures tonight and some of the girls have their first netball game. So gooo Panthers!!!!
